ALQVIMIA: Natural cosmetics made with love, from nature

Drolma Lizcano was born in Girona, Spain, but spent most of her life living in London. Here she studied BA Business Management and holds a First Degree in MA Strategic Marketing. Her admiration for her father, Idili Lizcano and the company he had founded, ALQVIMIA, had started at a very young age, where at the age of 9 she would create her own perfumes and give them a name and a price. After her business studies in London she decided to work along her father in the family business, where she is now the CEO. Since her official involvement in the business over 8 years ago, Drolma has lead an important organizational change by implementing a Holacracy driven de-centralized management system, making it the first Spanish company to implement it throughout the whole organization. She claims: “The most important thing in business (and life) is to do things with love. When you connect your decisions and actions to your heart, as well as your mind, the outcome will almost always transform into something positive. This is how we manage our business and expect our employees and stakeholders to do the same”.
